Dear Full XML creators,
We in the organization (www.elfasko.org.mk) are very impressed by the portal software that you have developed. And we are seriously considering using the portal for the next release of our web site. But!!! There is a problem.
We can not get it to work with the code page for our language. We need to use Cyrillic-cp1251 encoding so our letters will show up correctly in the browsers but there is a problem in the administration part. All articles and pages that are entered show up as Unicode escape sequences instead as code page translated characters. I have to note that the pages look OK on the public side, but the administration is practically
unusable!
Is there a work around to this problem that you know of, or another way to make the administration part to recognize the CP-1251 characters so they will be readable.
And by the way are you planning to make the code more readable to non French speaking developers. We have a lot of trouble following it because all the code comments are in French.
Thank you very much for taking time to read this and (hopefully) respond.
Sincerely
Slobodan Mumovic

Hi, thank you very much for your encouragement, it make me very pleased ! if you like it, stay tuned because fullxml 2 will be here very soon.
For your unicode problem, i will test it as soon as possible to give you a answer, but if it's working in the front end, i hope to make it worg in the administration.
For document, i promise you to traduct it in english for the newt release.

Hi,
For your encoding problem :
just try to put this line in the head section of the /templates/admin/console.xsl file
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>
tell me if it's end your matter. John.
Thank you very, very much!!! IT WORKED :))) thank you!
But insted of iso-8859-1 encoding I used windows-1251 encoding.
Then I had to restart the IIS service (inorder to clear the cache) and it worked: the newly entered text in the administrative console displayed in cirilic (windows-1251) encoding.
Now we can work on customising the look and feel of the site for our purposes and we are serious in the intention to use it as our main web portal. If you like I will let you know how it turned out. Currently our web site is www.elfasko.org.mk but it is plain html site. When we upgrade it with FullXML its gonna look GREAT!
Very gratefull
